I didn't see any replies to your questions so I will answer as best as I can.  Yes they will be loud, not sure about the wear of tread on these guys.  You will more than likely have to trim with such a wide tire.  It is doubtful that when they took the measurements they took into consideration the tread depth so it will probably be sitting up a bit taller.

 

I realize this is pretty late and you might have already purchased them.  Let us know if you did!  The tires do look great and would be interested in the feedback myself.

I did buy the wheels but with an AT tire.  305/55/20. side wall rubs a little on the A arm when tire is cranked all the way. Other than that nothing on fender walls.

I started to post earlier that my vote was for the chrome wheels. I was right.. your truck looks great! What offset do you have?

Double stuffed Oreo right there.   You need at least 4" of lift to run those tires.

For now, I am enjoying the double stuff. 285/70s were out of stock with no ETA nation wide as far as I can tell. Might try those next time, or if they come available sooner, since Discount Tire will swap for free or discount if past 30days.

Rides so much better than stock! Only thing so far I am worried about is with the volcanic "rock" they use on the passes here in Washington and Oregon, without front mud flaps, it tends to rip the paint up near the fender well.

It's interesting that the 295/70/18 is almost like a 35" tire while the 295/70/17 is a 33.3" tire. I'll be doing 295/70/17 with a 2" rc level, hoping it won't rub too much

You mean they'll swap tire size even if they've been the truck? Does that cover mount and balance or do you have to pay for it again?

my sales guy, who agreed the tire was going to fit, said I had 30 days to a free swap. I am assuming that means mount, balance, etc. The official policy seems to be "If you’re ever not satisfied with your purchase, bring it back and we will make it right. That is our promise."

We'll see I think, because I might even go down to a 275/70, if they can't find 285/70. What I want is 33.75x11.5, but there is no such thing.

There's exactly 1" difference in height between those 2 sizes. They'll be the same width and the same sidewall height. The only difference is the rim size, which will increase the overall diameter by 1".

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
